Welcome and thank you for visiting Poetic Aperture! I am Naomi - a mother, photographer, creative soul, and avid reader. This blog is a mix of those identities, plus whatever I stumble across that inspires me and that I think may inspire YOU. I aim to offer thought-provoking ideas that inspire creative thought and positive change and that will help you live an authentic and caring life.
